Selbstporträt

I took advantage of the pretty morning to go to the park and make a start on my self-portrait project for Monday. I’m definitely going to have to take more, but here are a couple of the better photos.

The photos were going okay (though not great) and I finally found a good spot to shoot, when the swan from the lake decided I’d been hanging around his territory too much. Swans may be very pretty, but when you’re sitting on the ground and one is waddling towards you with an ominous look, they look really big.

I got a tour of the photo lab and studio today. I get to learn how to use a studio and darkroom for my photo class. Also, I can print poster-size prints for 3€ at the school printing office! :D
